Day 4:
Chocolate Cake by Michael Rosen
With an adult, read together Chocolate Cake by Michael Rosen:
(Click the image for the full version)
Now watch and enjoy Michael Rosen performing the poem here:
Make connections with the poem and compare the two versions. Discuss – What did you think of the poem? Which version did you prefer? How were they similar/different? Did the poem remind you of anything? Have you ever craved a particular type of food like Michael craved the chocolate cake in the poem?
Your child might comment that the piece resembles a story more than a poem and that during the performance piece, Rosen does not recite the poem exactly word for word. Use this opportunity to explain that some poems are not written in verse (free verse), do not need to rhyme, can vary in performance and can sometimes resemble more like the telling of a story!
Re-read the poem together, pausing frequently and summarising what is happening in each section, e.g. First of all, Rosen explains why he likes chocolate cake so much. Then he wakes in the night thinking about the chocolate cake. After that, he sneaks downstairs to eat the remaining cake, etc.
You are now going to plan to write your own version of Chocolate Cake. First of all, you need to decide what food your poem is going to be about. Now you are going to plan your poem. Think about the sequence (order) of your poem, e.g. why you like your chosen food so much, how you might wake in the night thinking about it, the act of sneaking downstairs into the kitchen, eating and enjoying it, etc.
Create a plan similar to a story map, including each of the different sections above. Talk your planned sequence through with an adult.

Computing
Continue with yesterday’s computing challenges to make your own animation. Mrs Lyons and the Year 3 children at school made this animation yesterday, she used Movie Maker which is available on Windows as we couldn’t get the app needed on school ipads. So if you are in the same position then have a go at Movie Maker instead. I have added lots of children’s animations so you can see how others are getting on, don’t worry if yours isn’t finished yet.
If you have completed it and fancy doing another feel free to send a second one! Children I have been blown away with how amazing your animations are, you have really taken what I taught you and ran with the challenge. I’m so impressed! You are super stars.
Please go all the way to the bottom of the page you don’t want to miss out on any of your friend’s animations. Enjoy!

Day 3:
On the Ning Nang Nong! by Spike Milligan
Read the poem 'On the Ning Nang Nong’ here:
Now, play the audio recording of the poem as read by Spike Milligan (click on the image above).
Discuss your child’s reaction to the poem – they might be surprised by the nonsense words! Some background information on Spike Milligan and his nonsense poetry can be found in the first two paragraphs here:
(Note: Please avoid clicking on + Continue Reading tab as the content may not be considered age appropriate).
Your first task today is to draw and label a picture of the Ning Nang Nong. What creatures and living things need to be included in your picture? (cows, monkeys, mice, trees). If you were to attach speech bubbles to the animals, what would they be saying? (Bong! BOO! Clang!) What other creatures or living things could you add? What might they be doing? What other noises might you hear? Remember it doesn’t matter how ridiculous your ideas are – you can be as creative as you like! Colour your picture to make it as attractive as possible.
Now write some sentences to describe your version of the Ning Nang Nong. Remember to include details about all the living creatures that live there, the noises they make and what they do. You can use some adjectives (describing words) and include your own nonsense words too if you like!
Remember to read back through your work to check for spelling and punctuation.
